Art Nouveau in Milan

Art Nouveau is a style of art and design that was popular in Milan (a city in Italy) a long time ago. It was a fancy and pretty style that had lots of curvy lines and shapes inspired by nature like flowers and leaves.

In Milan, lots of buildings and objects were made in this style, like furniture, lamps, and even the subway stations! They all looked very beautiful and special, with lots of different colors and patterns.

People really liked Art Nouveau in Milan because it was something new and different from the older styles of art and design. Even though it's not as popular now, you can still see some examples of Art Nouveau in Milan if you look closely!
